The Gas Water Heater Test Bench (Model WH-RS03-501A) is a performance and safety station for instantaneous (tankless) and storage gas water heaters. It measures water flow (0–30 L/min), inlet and outlet temperature, combustion conditions, CO emission and safety-protection functions, with 0.5% full-scale measurement accuracy and automatic data recording. It is the platform behind searches for instant water heater testing equipment and gas water heater tester.

Water heaters are tested at the point where gas safety, water comfort and combustion quality meet, so the bench verifies both that the unit delivers stable hot water and that it shuts down safely under fault conditions. The full workflow and item list are covered in our gas water heater testing guide.

What the Bench Tests

  • Water flow & temperature — flow rate 0–30 L/min and inlet/outlet temperature rise.
  • Thermal efficiency — useful heat against gas input; see thermal efficiency & CO testing.
  • Combustion & CO emission — combustion quality and carbon-monoxide levels for export.
  • Gas tightness — leak detection on the gas circuit; see gas tightness testing.
  • Safety protection — flame failure, overheat, over-pressure and anti-dry-burn behaviour.

Standards & Compliance

Instantaneous gas water heaters are tested to EN 26 (Europe) and China’s GB 6932; the differences from cooker standards are explained in EN 26 vs EN 30, and general gas-appliance safety follows IEC 60335-2-102. Wanhe provides the measurement records and technical files summarized on certifications.

How the Test Sequence Works

  1. Connect gas, water supply and exhaust/CO sensors; set flow and inlet conditions.
  2. Run the heater at rated and boundary flow rates.
  3. Record flow, temperature rise, efficiency, CO and safety response.
  4. Compare results with limits and export a pass/fail report.

Key Features

  • Water flow 0–30 L/min, accuracy 0.5% F.S.
  • Flow, temperature, combustion and CO measurement in one station.
  • Automatic data recording and traceable reports.
  • Custom gas type and heater-capacity fixtures.
  • Supports both instantaneous and storage water heaters.

Aging & Endurance Testing

For plants that add long-run aging or endurance after the functional test, Wanhe supplies multi-station aging lines. See automated aging tests for gas water heaters, the Vietnam water heater aging line case, and environmental aging of gas appliances. For multi-appliance lines, compare the gas appliance test bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from global customers about customization, delivery, certification and after-sales support.

We ship by sea (FCL or LCL), air freight or international express depending on the size and urgency. Sea freight to most Asian ports takes 5-15 days, to Europe about 30-40 days; air freight is usually within 7-10 days worldwide.

Of course. Customers are welcome to visit our Zhongshan factory to see the workshop, inspect machines under test and meet our engineers. For customers who cannot visit, we provide video factory tours and live testing demonstrations.

Yes. The electrical system of each machine is CE compliant, and we can provide CE certificates and technical documentation. For machines used in certification testing, we also supply the calibration reports of the built-in instruments.

We support EXW, FOB, CIF and other common Incoterms. For most overseas orders we recommend FOB Shenzhen or Guangzhou; for turnkey projects we can also provide DDP service including customs clearance and inland delivery.

We respect customer confidentiality, but we are happy to arrange video calls with existing customers in similar industries or share published case studies (see the Project Cases section) as references.
